Hi, I’m CD56, some may know me as CD, I’m potentially interested in this event. I wont toot my own horn too much but some of my accolades include reaching top 500 multiple times in ADV OU ladder, My WR is low though because I like to build. I’m always trying to experiment and self build teams...

Thanks for your reply. I’ve seen the sets linked to the VR to a fair amount of pokemon, but when I say I “don’t know what it does” I moreso mean that I struggled to see strong use cases for it over similar options, such as the lanturn bit. I generally know what they do but theyre uncommon for...

I’ve been playing this tier a lot on the ladder since it came out and I’ve been really enjoying it but I wanted to voice my thoughts on some of the viability rankings based on what ive seen on the ladder and used myself as well as my general thoughts on what seems strong and why and why that is...

To be honest, I really do not agree with this at all. The only meta relevant mons at the 110 base speed benchmark are gengar and tauros, and they commonly dont square off as they have to respect each other’s options. When latias was in the tier it was a very crowded speed tier, it was a very bad...

Here are some of my thoughts on this new VR :Gengar: Tier 1- This pokemon is still amazing, and has irreplaceable utility. Been using the support set more frequently and forgoing explosion. high speed tier and ghost typing allow it to always move without being disrupted. Insane movepool that no...

I think that explosion should be looked at in more detail. It's true that there are many mindgames involving explosion, but with the unique quirk in gen 3 of pokemon switching in the same turn another one faints, explosion can be beyond devastating because you can put yourself in situations...

Mono Psychic typing holds it back a lot, makes it much easier to take on both offensively and defensively, its pretty outclassed by jirachi for the most part even if its a lot faster and seems stronger because jirachi's steel typing actually makes it way more threatening vs offensive teams...

Going to have to disagree with you on Hariyama. Yes it has a lot of switchins in OU and only a few reliable entry points (tyranitar, blissey, snorlax, and miscellaneous status moves) but all of its switchins suffer from being hit by knock off. Think pokemon like salamence, celebi, starmie, and...

So I’ve been getting back into ADV OU recently, and I’ve taken inspiration from SPL and began running roselia on the ladder as a decent utility grass type spiker. This is my set: Roselia @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 248 HP / 28 Def / 232 SpD Calm Nature - Spikes - Leech Seed - Giga...

I havent made reqs, but I firmly believe after some time that archaludon is NOT broken. Yes it can be a steamroller in the right matchup and can be quite difficult to remove, which makes it a great pokemon. But its only extremely threatening in rain. If we think back to the Walking Wake suspect...

Gengar: Not sure its broken, speed tier is nice and has good power, but that’s it. It’s a good pokemon, I dont forsee it immediately being an issue Hydreigon: Get this guy outta here. Fairy types switch in until specs or tera steel flash cannon show up. Stealth Rocks + 3 attack is also an...

To me, the biggest issue is Hydreigon. It can fit on any team and improve it. It’s super good on hazard stacking teams because it destroys every spin blocker. It is incredibly powerful and diverse in sets. It’s good on weather too, because it can give you a great mix of defense and offense...

I don’t see How is remotely problematic even still, in fact it has gotten more and more tame in my opinion as time has progressed. Yes its bulky and can potentially sweep you but it has to weaken a team considerably before going for the sweep. It can trade well into everything, but then the...

I know this was discussed earlier, but I believe that :terapagos: is actually viable in Ubers. Not good, mind you, but I firmly believe it is C rank. The best way to use this pokemon in my opinion is with a defensive set with toxic, rapid spin, roar, and then an attacking move of choice. This...

:Kyurem: to me feels overbearing. Has many excellent sets, Specs, Loaded dice DD, Sub HDB special variant, mixed, even bulky variants of this pokemon cause extreme headache. Having to guess between Specs and DD is already hard enough, One wrong turn can be game ending against it, not to mention...
